The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Finally Friday!

This week was such a fun week! I really enjoyed my “spring break” with my family. The temps are really getting up up there and it is getting warm out there! I’m excited for summer and the pool, but not so much temps in the high 90s. Here are my confessions: 

1. I confess that I am really starting to figure out my camera. 

I got this really nice camera  a Canon DSLR back in May for my first Mother’s Day gift. I started using it right away and playing with all the manual settings on it, etc. I took our Christmas picture and have taken his monthly pictures. Yesterday, I actually went out and took some pictures of my sister dancing en pointe. Here is one of my favorites! You can check some more pictures out on her instagram: @all.x.wat
2. I confess I lost my fitbit charger.

Don’t even ask. I have not had that thing for more than a month…and it’s gone. I seriously have no idea where it is. I’m pretty sure that by the end of they year, I will probably have 12 of those darn things. 

3. This was not the week for meal plans. 

I enjoyed my spring break a little too much, and decided that my social calendar Bennett’s social calendar, was a little more important. Next week I will definitely be back with some new recipes! 

4. I confess that I am counting down the hours til my hubby is home tonight. 

I really can’t wait for him to be home. I don’t drink anything during the week (1 drink puts me in a deep sleep), so on the weekend when the time comes and Bennett is asleep…I finally enjoy my glass of wine or cider, then say goodnight world.
5. My baby will be 7 months tomorrow.

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉
Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

We love making these apple donuts—they are fun for the kids to decorate—add frosting, peanut butter, sprinkles, the list goes on!
